i'm usually not a list guy, but what the hell

For you, Gloria

5 things I plan to do before I die: (these aren't really plans, more like dreams or hopes).
1. Travel Europe with my wife and kids.
2. Make good beer.
3. Write a book.
4. Believe in God.
5. Play golf at St. Andrews (maybe this is related to #4?)

5 things I can do:
1. Play guitar.
2. Drink.
3. Golf.
4. Gossip.
5. Make my wife crazy.

5 things I cannot do:
1. Make beer (I've tried). Checkout Northen Brewer's website here.
2. Live without my wife and daughter.
3. Watch Fox News.
4. Listen to jazz for more than 3 minutes.
5. Attend a meeting at work before 10 A.M. without coffee. (Or if I'm espeically dreading the meeting, a stiff drink...it's always noon somewhere)

5 things I say most often:
1. Whatever.
2. Princess. (The name for my wife and my daughter)
3. I wish I had that gig. (Usually in reference to people I encounter who work less and make more money)
4. Where the f*($ did I put my keys?
5. You won't believe what I just heard... (usually when I call my wife immediately after a seminary class where some Jesus-drunk classmate just finished an incessant diatribe dedicated to making sure everyone knows how much faith/love/patience/wisdom they have).

5 Celebrity crushes:
1. Angelina Jolie.
2. Joss Stone.
3. Ann Curry (from the Today show on NBC).
4. Ashley Judd.
5. Diane Lane.
(Katie Holmes used to be on the list, especially after watching Pieces of April, but then she met Tom Cruise…)

Angelina Jolie?!!!!

Ann Curry?!!!

Are you out of your mind?!!! The first is just weird, the second might be the most annoying person on television, and certainly is the worst interviewer ever to sit in front of a camera (she just edges Katie Currick (sp?) out for this title). She is painful.

I don't know that I can be your friend after this little stunt. We'll see...maybe if you figure out how to make some of that homemade beer, and send me some, I think that'll start the healing process. We'll see...

I too have a crush on Ann Curry.Ann is a "hot babe" that consistently captures my attention. My erotic imagination is aroused by her well- onditioned, nicely
propotioned body with its small, pert breasts, slim hips, and long,
shapely legs. The direct gaze from her gorgeous dark eyes, that hint
at her Japanese heritage, transfix me. Listening to her incredibly
sultry, smokey voice is mesmerizing. I love the sheen of her long raven dark hair that frames the smooth, translucent skin of her stunningly beautiful face. I find her full, luscious lips to be very sensuous. But beyond her many physicial attributes I like the fact
that she is not afraid to allow herself to react naturally to the
moment. She seems comfortable in her skin, easy going and confident at the same time. She carries herself proudly yet I sense no haughtiness or condescension in her manner.
